OK, more tourist stuff from me today, though the vast majority of people don't seem to climb the mountain. Can't really blame them, it's a HIKE. Especially when you're a 230lb fatass American who sits in front of a computer all day.

Another beautiful shrine, another beautiful day, and since it's midweek there weren't an oppressive number of people (side note: I saw more tourists in Kyoto than anywhere else so far).

Fushimi Inari has thousands of torii gates. I don't even know how many, I haven't done any research! You don't need to climb the mountain to see most of them, the farther you go the fewer there are, but I had decided I wanted to climb all the way. My dumb ass self didn't really pay attention to how LONG it took to climb, so it basically took my entire day.

Once again, my iPhone camera is saving me and at least doing SOME justice to the site. Now, I'm back in Tokyo for 3 days of Granblue Fantasy Fes and... only 3 days left after that. This has been a WHIRLWIND, and I'm going to be so fucking dead when I get back home haha.

The second is from the much more general-tourist-friendly Miyajima. I've wanted to get out here just as badly for a long time and I'm glad the weather cooperated. I was going to try and stick around for the tide to roll further in, but I was actually getting really cold and sore after all the (14km) walking today. I wanted to walk up and visit the pagoda but my legs said absolutely not. Something to come back to on another trip, I think.

Beautiful colors from everything here, even in the winter. I always love myself a good mountain skyline, and this does not disappoint.

In the border village of Columbus, NM, the last remnant of the original bank building — which took bullets in the 1916 Battle of Columbus — is a shrine today. See reply for a closer look.

I’ve always been anti robot vacuum. We have dogs and I’ve seen the decimation that accidental doggy jobbies can cause. 🐩💩🤢 But this… this I can get behind! ✨🔮💖😆 (video clip shows a robot vacuum zooming about with crystals and incense placed on the top, making a moving altar or shrine.)

changing leaves: did you know that you needed to see this? :blobheart: This is not even the peak for delicate red leaves, so check back later, but this is a little-known early stage with yellow ginkgo and various tawny colors. You might like the vermillion and , too, that blend so well with . : We've been living near Kyoto for 18 years while I've been a professor in . I originally specialized in , so I'm fluent and literate in . I sometimes guide people to Kyoto and pay my own way. But my Japanese wife of 34 years warns that I don't know the restaurants, being just a hiker. We have two sons incredibly successful in Tokyo: one is just coming back from Seattle, NYC, and (my home town).

Last year we went to the Daruma temple in Gumma! Daruma is an oval figure standing up even if you try to knock it down. It represents the effort to achieve a goal without giving up. People paint the pupil of one of his eyes when starting a challenge and the other when succeed. You must climb an insane amount of stairs to access the main building "without giving up"! Daruma is very loved in Japan!

Oh dear.

"SINGAPORE - Several explosions rocked the evening air and thick smoke billowed from Kusu Island on Sunday (April 17) after a fire broke out at a hilltop where three Malay keramats (shrines) are located."
